Of course it's perfectly normal, I always carry a gun with me...just in case.

I had a BD dream last night. It took place in some mutated form of Boston and Boise. Rune had come to visit. We were hanging out, walking down the streets of the city, and having all sorts of fun. I remember in one random part, I kept dropping my Emerson sweatshirt in the middle of the sidewalk and he kept telling me to pick it up. Anyways, later on we sat down on these bleachers to watch an outdoor show. I got up to leave for a moment and when I came back, Greenie was suddenly sitting on the other side of Rune. I didn't question it, and simply sat back down. While watching the show, I felt someone brush up against my left side. At first I thought it was Rune, but I turned to discover that Lommy was suddenly sitting in between us. Again I didn't question it and continued to watch the show. Later in the dream very excited about their surprise visit (so excited that I called my mom to inform her), I took Greenie and Lommy to where I lived, which was a combination of my family home and my room in Boston. They commented on my stuff with words like, "Ooh fairies" and "You certainly have a lot of stuff from Finland" (apparently I did in the dream). When I asked why they had made the surprise trip to the US, Lommy answered with something to the liking of, "Well, I was in London and the US was so close, so I thought I might as well buy a ticket."

There was more to this dream, some BD related though mostly not, but it got so odd (as most of my dreams do) that I can't even begin to explain...

I've been having pretty much BD dreams lately, and last night I had one again.

Rikae and Macalaure had moved to the house next door to mine. Greenie, Lommy, I and some other people were on a walk, and Greenie and me happened to catch a glimpse of Rikae doing the dishes inside. So we decided to visit them.

I don't remember very much about the visit itself, but it included several weird parts. Mac was at work (he was a waiter in some restaurant) so we talked to Rikae. When we asked her why they had decided to move to Finland, she told us her mother had kicked them out because Mac had committed some crime.
Then Mac came home, and we all decided to go for dinner to some restaurant. "European countries are competing terribly nowadays about who have their national dishes served the most in other countries," explained Mac. "Plane companies try to make compromises, and every time you have breakfast on a plane, they give you a sandwich with a creamy bun on it instead of butter."

So for the first time in ages I actually remembered a dream I had! And it was slightly Barrow-Downs related too!

It started out in my bedroom, I was looking out my window, gazing at the snow that had suddenly appeared there and worrying about Danish Werewolves getting in and eating me (Don't ask), when suddenly I was stepping outside, and I starting to swim though the snow like it was water.

So there I was, swimming up my street, doing the backstroke in fact, when I looked to the side of the road and saw this huge yellow, diamond-shaped sign that said The Barrow-Downs. Well I thought I was going rather mad, seeing Barrow-Downs signs, and so I decided to swim back home, wherein I found my mother on my computer and reading this Barrow-Downs thread called "The Dark and Silent Ring". Then sadly, I woke up.

So yeah, it was madness. And not very Barrow-Downs related madness.

Imgaine how worried I am. . .living in Denmark and all.

I would like to state the swimming is a very silly form of transportation, unless of course practised in water.

I had a dream I and some other Downers (don't remember who) were visiting Form. We were sitting on a scarlet sofa and he was fussing around dressed in a priest's robe, checking we were alright and had everything we needed and so on.
While Form was fetching us some food from the kitchen, Greenie and phantom decided to climb the table. They were lying there and tickling each other until Greenie started complaining: "Eww phantom, did you just fart?"
That's all I remember.

I'm still numpty even now because I got woke up from a really cool dream this morning:

There was this Mediteranean style villa and there was a big fight going on betwen David Tennant and some hoodies. Then I tried to get into the lift and everything disappeared and it was like a big steelworks (like Magna in Rotherham, which is enormous and very sci-fi and post-apocalyptic in fact) and Hookbill was getting all excited about how he had invited David Tennant to join the 'Downs Big Event'. Then there was this crash and davem was all excited and David Tennant fell through the ceiling slaying this giant spider and he was saying he wasn't an actor, he really is Doctor Who and he really exists. Then I woke up. DRAT!!!

This what happens when you read Batman comics in bed at night.

Last time I checked, David Tennant was an actor, and Hookbill didn't like his Doctor, but what do I know?

Eye dream analysis...

You had Form dressed in his robes, Ganzy? Hmmm... perhaps you are feeling the need to confess about something?

And that's typical of Greenie, really- blaming others for her misdeeds. The event in the dream was merely a reflection of this.

But I can't figure why the table was the surface of choice with a perfectly good sofa available. And why was the sofa red? Stained with blood, perhaps? And since only you remained upon it, you feel like you are solely responsible for something terrible. This would chime with your urge to confess to a priest.

Hmm... perhaps that is why we moved to the tabletop. You felt we were placing ourselves above you and your shame. But the tickling... I suppose it is closely tied with enjoyment, smiling, laughing, and generally being carefree, a stark contrast to you sitting alone on the bloody sofa.

I'm sure all of this has something to do with Werewolf.

According to my dreams, Gwathagor is betrothed to an NPC of mine - a young Gondorian woman. Also, he appeared in another dream: Greenie and I were going to movies when we saw an advertisement. It had a big bear sitting on a snowy mountain and wearing a red t-shirt. It might have even had a bottle of coke. Greenie and I started laughing at it, because it reminded us of Gwath. (Now, I wonder... what to make out of this?? )

I could picture that happening. Gwathagor reminds me of a Gondorian: tall, dark haired, devoted and intelligent. As for the Coke Bear, I don't know how you got that.

EDIT: By Durin's beard, I just made my 1000th post!

Or maybe you two just decided to help Form and offered to be eaten so he wouldn't need to cook - maybe you even enjoyed it? That would also explain the bloodred sofa.

A few nights ago I had a dream Groin came to Finland and I played him some Finnish communist songs, saying they were just old Finnish music, and asked his opinions on them. I don't think I got any clear response, though. A pity.

White-Hand I Had A Dream!!!!

A couple days ago this happened...

I was just standing somewhere and Lommy came up to me. She said "Have you read the Downer this week yet?" and at that time I hadn't read it, I replied "No I haven't, unfortunately." She also said something about the Phantom and Alien....

I woke up shortly after.

I just had the first BD dream in a long while. In it, Gwathagor came to Finland. For starters he hung his own lamp on the ceiling and started roasting red peppers on it (and forgot them there). He also explained that if we want to pay a visit to him, we should walk through Europe and Africa, then through Antarctica and South America and finally to his home in Chicago, which was in Nevada and looked like an oversized native American village in the middle of a desert.
Before he left, he took off the red peppers that had burnt quite badly and were all black. He burnt his fingers because he took them with his bare hands, and only said "Ouch, these are hot!" or something like that. As souvenirs, we gave him a baby (in the dream it was some sort of an inside joke that the baby was his though it really wasn't; I have no idea where we got the baby from) and a big transparent plastic box filled with water and a few cucumbers. In return, he gave us pillows (!!) on which were printed photos of 'Downers he had met before us. (I don't remember who they were, though... a pity.)

I did have a dream, but I can't remember too much of it.

Basically, one of my friends (but I think it was a Downer) bought a copy of the new LOTR movie (not Jackson's, or any other real one) and told me that if you open it in a certain way, it acts as a "bridge"/portal/wormhole etc. to "somewhere else". To prove this he did it very quickly (so no-one else could see, even though we were alone in my room) and disappeared. Then I kept on trying to do it, but every time I did this some downer came into my room and asked me something, which distracted me. It was also secret, and there were people spying on me, so I couldn't let anyone see this. I also had a younger brother who happened to be a Downer (can't remember which either) who I did tell. Then, out of nowhere, I heard Aganzir telling off Kitanna from trying to steal the DVD from me.

*

Then I woke up at 4am, for some reason with the urge to vote Kitanna in WW the next Day. I fell back asleep but when I did wake up, I realised that Kitanna had actually voted in me WW at 4am my time. Strange.




I must have been reading too much of this thread.

That must have been disappointing... It's annoying when someone keeps interrupting you when you're just about to do something cool you're only able to do in dreams.

But especially the voting part was strange.

Lady Lommy of the Wacky Subconscious strikes again...

Two dreams for you, fellow citizens of the Mounds...


A wedding and a ghastly painter boy

Greenie and I were spending time in Noggie's place when he announced that he has booked us flights for the following day and we are going to US to attend Mac&Rikae's wedding. When we arrived, the two were happy to put us up but said that sadly we couldn't come to their wedding as the church was full and they couldn't make any last-minute arrangements. They were happy to see us anyway. We suggested that maybe after their ceremony and party they would like to see us and some US 'downers who could make it there for an hour or two in a café or something. They said it was a good idea and called at least Brinn.

So, their big day came and they went away. We were left alone in their house and went for a walk. We were coming back to Rikae&Mac's house in he evening and complaining it's a pity all the portrait-makers close their businesses at 8pm, because we would have wanted to get portraits of ourselves, but it was already something like 5 to 8. At 8 exactly, we saw a young boy sitting on the street and painting. We asked him if he could paint portraits of us even though it was already 8pm. He nodded and said: "Sure, no problem." At that moment, I realised he was Fea. While he was painting us, we asked him about his life and doings and he told all kinds of stuff. At some phase, he said: "You know, I was supposed to be Rikae and Mac's babysitter today, but I happened to lose the baby." His tone was careless, as if he was talking about losing a pen they had borrowed him, or something.


My subconscious, too, pairs up people

Aganzir had something related to dating in her sig. Eönwë nominated it on the signature thread. He quoted the sig and wrote: "It was beautiful while it lasted. TGEW and I had a lot of fun for four months but now it's over. IOh well."


I refrain from commenting.

Last night I had a very peculiar dream.
I was looking after a giant snake. For some reason related to its care, I had to post the same post, five times, on Brinniel's LJ blog.
And I thought to myself, god, I hope she knows it's because of the snake, because otherwise she's going to think I'm unbelievably boring.
I have no idea what the post actually said, or whether Brinniel even has an LJ blog.

I always have weird dreams if I take a nap...

This time I dreamt I was having a food fight with Gwathagor and we kept running around a house and throwing food at each other. Sadly, I cannot remember any details except that I poured balsamic vinegar on Gwath.

Hmm... So people imagine me writing stuff like that?

I refer you to Legate's post, which isn't really the same, but you can see the similarity.

Twice in a row, eh?

Me again...

Okay, this is a dream I had a while ago.

Legate, Brinn, Nogrod, Greenie, Aganzir, Volo and I were sitting on balcony and playing cards, or something. From the balcony there could be seen a sort of valley filled with sand and little hills. Volo called the valley Barrow-Downs. There was salted liquorice all over the valley. "I'm going to collect that candy," Legate announced. Everybody, especially Greenie and Agan started protesting loudly, saying: "If he goes to pick it all up, he will eat it all and we won't get any." I just laughed and said: "I don't mind it if he goes. He will bring them to me anyway."

Then the salted liquorice issue was solved in one way or other, and the dream moved on. We were still sitting there when someone burped. We started looking at each other accusingly and debating in a ww-like manner who it had been. I said: "I'm sure it wasn't Brinn because she's so small and cute that she couldn't surely make a noise like that. Or no, she could. But only after three hours of sitting on the sofa, watching a movie and eating lots of popcorn and potato chips." Brinn accepted this as an argument for her innocence and laughed, and the others agreed with me. Somehow, it ended up being a question of whether the burper had been me, Nogrod or Legate, and the issue couldn't be solved. (I knew it hadn't been me, though. )

Then the dream moved to its third part, which was only vaguely related to the beginning. More or less the same people were moving to an apartment together. It was in Paris (that looked suspiciously like Helsinki ) and the others were going there beforehand and I was coming later. I managed to get lost. Then, I accidentally bumped into Agan and THE Ka, but they weren't too happy to see me. "You know, it's not random that we're walking just by the two of us and the others are elsewhere. We wanted to have some private time to talk," Agan told me while Ka smiled apologetically. I rolled my eyes at her and commented: "Sorry to have ruined your secret romantic walk then." I did not part company with them and all the three of us walked together to our new apartment where the others were waiting for us.

Oh god I think I remember that stuff. My grandpa made me eat it... Then I'd hide it under my tongue and my grandma would let me spit it out later. I only have bad memories of it because my grandpa let it sit around for waaaaay too long, then somehow thought it was just the right time to eat it. I dunno if I can repair my image of salted liquorice ever again.

How many people were you planning on fitting into that apartment?

Y'know, that's not too far off really. She's been slowly convincing me to move to Finland, and I think it's working a bit. Before I was in a limbo deciding whether I liked Norway, Sweden or Argentina more, but hmmm. She's a convincing travel agent, but I'd only do it to hang out with you bunch all the time, plus I'm rather tired and bored with the US.

Though, I'd never live in Paris. I only want to die there.

You're dream was amazing my dear, simply ab fab.

I don't know what kind of salted liquorice your grandpa has fed you, but it's lovely, really. At least in Finland.
I made Kath, tgwbs and Mith try it when I met them in London (we found a shop which sold all kinds of foreign candy, Finnish salted liquorice included) and at least Kath and tgwbs didn't find it that bad (or then they were just polite ).
I can buy you some when you come to Finland, or bring with me if I meet you somewhere outside Finland. You don't have to eat it if you don't want to, though.

I thought this dream was too small to post as this is about the only part I remember of it, but since I'm posting here now anyway, I can write it, too.
Last night I had a dream Rune went through a cosmetic surgery because he wanted to look like Paris Hilton. He then posted a photo of himself on the Downs and everybody agreed that the result was very Paris Hilton-like.

I had a dream last night that I had an overflow of requests on my Facebook, mostly from Lommy, Greenie and Brinn. The ones from Lommy & Greenie were all either in incomprehensible Finnish characters or about a very obscure Finnish item, while I think one of them may have hacked Brinn's account because hers were the same.

Apparently, a tiny ankh-shaped twig with which you catapult tiny stones is called a "death stick", while Finns regularly take trees and split them down the middle like an onion blossom for their children to have birthday parties on.

I'm guessing you ran out of smilies by this tome in your post.

The dream didn't amuse me so much that I would have needed smilies.
Mainly because imagining Rune as a girl is such an everyday thing for me.

though.

.
It wasn't unpleasant at all but tasted slightly medicinal (though I am not sure I can judge accurately since I had a bad ENT infection at the time and nothing tasted quite right). I think it is just a strange idea to have salty sweets.

I dreamt last night that Gwathagor kept following me around. He was wearing a black fedora and was in hunters attire (he looked very much like Theodore Roosevelt). When I confronted him he jumped into some bushes and started whispering, "You can't see me, you can't see me." I finally got tired of him following me around and confronted him a second time, but this time he started waving his new found gun and doing his best impersination of Mr. Heston's famous words: "From my cold dead hands."

There are many other wierd things that happened in the dream but only one other part conscerns the Downers. In the dream I went to a Country Music concert, but it soon turned into a cage fight between Chuck Norris versus Rune and Legate. Rune kept got beaten to a pulp after shouting, "For the mother land!" and Legate kept on whimpering and trying to get out of the ring. After the fight we all watched Chuck Norris bench-press a C-5 Galaxy.

I'm afraid I must not make a very good impression here on the Downs.

I had a snippet of a dream last night.

I was reading the werewolf game, and for some reason had decided it was time to post, Night was over, so I typed up this really long post, sent it, looked back up, and had crossed with Fea who had written my death. Curiously, I wasn't Shasta, though, I was some other name that I don't remember, but I recognized it as me.

I have a couple fo dreams I haven't reported. Mainly, something about me talking in MSN with Shasta and Volo stealing gull's eggs and then a downer dream involving cannibalism but I'm not sure I want to elaborate on that...

This wasn't so much a dream as an hallucination. I was just getting out of bed, I stayed up late that night so I was very groggy, and I thought I saw Gollum the Great grinning at me through my window! It's not a face that I'd like to wake up to again.
